Think Differently About Learning
This resource for new or struggling homeschooling parents will teach you how to let go of what you think homeschool should look like and confidently enter a simpler, more enjoyable, and sustainable homeschooling relationship with your child that brings out their natural learner.
Hosts of the Homeschool Unrefined Podcast show you how to let go of traditional measures of success, and instead measure learning by curiosity, joy, self-regulation, and critical thinking.
Children deserve more than the systems we're currently using to educate them. Hardworking teachers, diligent administrators, and devoted parents are trying their best in an outdated system that isn't meeting our children's complex needs.
Instead, imagine a different way to learn.
With helpful, practical tips and anecdotes from homeschooling families, this guide covers all you need to know about learning differences, mental health, devices and technology, socialisation, and more. It's for traditional school families who are learning to balance outer expectations with their own needs with a different way of learning. It's for homeschool families who are looking for a more inclusive, supportive, and authentic approach.
Angela and Maren pair their years of teaching in a variety of different schools with their years of homeschooling their combined seven children. As they know first-hand, any parent, child, or family can thrive as they unlearn old ways, lean into their own strengths, and celebrate unconventional wins.
Think Differently About Learning offers a transformative perspective on education for those ready to embrace a new path.

About the Author
Angela Sizer earned her Master's in Teaching from Hamline University and taught in public schools for seven years. For a decade, she homeschooled her own children and loved watching them explore their passions and get excited about learning. These experiences strengthened Angela's commitment to respecting how children learn and highlighted the role neurodivergence and mental health play in the process.
Maren Goerss has her Master's in Education from Hamline University and taught elementary school for eight years. As part of a neurodivergent family, Maren sees learning differences as superpowers and leans into their strengths. After being a homeschool parent for years, Maren has become an ADHD parent and life coach. Together, Angela and Maren created the podcast, Homeschool Unrefined, in 2016 to share their experience and knowledge as educators and homeschoolers while encouraging parents to notice how their children are always learning. Their podcast and book are a call to all parents to reconsider their expectations of their children and themselves. They advocate for doing less, leaning into strengths, and enjoying the process.More from Self-Help & Personal Development
